Ostwald, Bas-Rhin
Ostwald (; Alsatian: ''Oschwold'') is a commune in the Bas-Rhin department in Grand Est in north-eastern France. History The ancient name of Ostwald, Wickersheim, is first attested on a map of the emperor Charles the Fat in 884. In the time of the emperor Frederick I Barbarossa, within the realm of the Holy Roman Empire, the Hohenstaufens built a castle by the Ill River. In 1285, the city was acquired by the Zorn family of Strasbourg and took the name of Illwickersheim, also sometimes called ''Sankt Ostwald'' after the name of a parish. The plague of 1348 and mercenary raids in 1365 and 1376 decimated the population. In 1418 the city of Strasbourg gained control of Illwickersheim; at the same time it acquired Illkirch-Graffenstaden. The act of annexation of Alsace to the kingdom of France took place in Illkirch in 1681, after which Illwickersheim experienced a period of peace and prosperity, with the introduction of potato farming, which saw an increase in the city's are ...
